Who ever heard of putting beans in a hot dog? It sounds gross, but these “beaner dogs” of Northern Mexico are are fantastic treat!
Beans or not, these Mexican hot dog are truly a thing of beauty. Made from a "cheap" hot dog, wrapped in fatty bacon and slathered in beans, chile, mayo and hot sauce, it's a meal with a real retort, an absolutely delicious snack that you will taste for hours.
When Americans think of "cheap" hot dogs they think of those ones made from red dye #5,and serial, with bits of lips and buttholes (called "rennet) for a real meat-like flavor.
To a Mexican, a cheap hot dog is made from spleen, just like their spicy chorizo sausage, and bound together with hot dog helper.
No lips or buttholes in these babies, they are just pure offal.
Nestled in a warm Mexican roll, these gut bombs go down smooth.
The colors of the yellow mustard, green peppers and white mayo is not done for flavor, it's considered patriotic and done because of the white, red, and yellow hues of the Mexican flag.
Thank God the Mexican flag does not have any brown in it . . .
